While there are no dues or fees for membership at El Camino
Central, we do rely upon member contributions to keep the site and server running smoothly. As membership grows, so does
site usage. Recently we have seen a huge jump in server load and bandwidth. As a result, at times we notice extremely
slow page loading. Many of you may have also noticed the new member rankings used to recognize supporting members.

Every little bit helps.

Maybe I made a mistake, but I have proof from Paypal that I made a $25 donation to this site.
Anybody know if they received it? I would think the site would send me an email or message on my account, and update my account info.
Thanks _________________ Mike
Mike -- Thank you for the donation to ECC. We depend on the generosity of our members to keep this free site operating. The owner/administrator of the site, Robert More, has his hands full at the present -- what with trying to run a business, looking after some family health matters, and coping with the severe weather that has hit Texas over the past month.
Robert will get to your acknowledgement as soon as he can. As long as Paypal confirmed your donation went through, you can be assured it will be spent wisely on maintaining the site. Please remember this is a wholly volunteer run organization and we are not as efficient as our friends at the IRS. Again, thank you! _________________ View my El Camino
Thanks for your donation Mike.
I will do same when my finances get straightened around myself.
The economy really sucks for us all.
I feel this country needs to band together and Boy-cott the oil companies and help try to get these DAMN gas prices back in line.
We are ALL suffering because of this crap.

I sent my donation for Platinum last week and got my PayPal verification. I figure I'll get acknowlegement whenever it happens, I'm not worried about it. But I would rather have a coffee mug than a T-shirt, if that's possible.
As far as gas prices, KEEP DREAMING!!!! They are not going to go down. period. The one fact that China alone (much less the rest of the world) has an increasing demand will keep the market up. Alternative fuels are going to be the answer and the only reason that they are becoming viable is because traditional oil prices are high. _________________ Mama Mayhem's Gallery

Thanks to both of you for helping with the upkeep of ECC. Although I don't have it in my power to send you a shirt or coffee mug, I am able to update your ranking on the site. And I have. Please forward your paypal verification to my e-mail address so I can verify it for your ranking. _________________ Ernie

Just reading through the posts. FWIW.. there is no update for me either. I've been hearing and reading all about what is going on in Tx. Whenever you guys get to it if fine. Thanks. _________________ Dropped Fullsize

I'm with 82 Elco, mine went in the beginning o fthe month, but as Robert has some family issues, and the current weather situation in TX, I'm sure he will get to the update. I know I contributed, and that will help the site improve. _________________ Bob Weis

I sent my donation in a while ago and I know that the ranking will be upgraded as soon as the servers are updated. My concern is that the system gets upgraded as soon as possible and with the best upgrade available. This is a great site and I support the hard work of Robert More and the rest of the ECC admin folks. Let's make this an even better site.
Happy 4th! _________________

OH PLEASE! Stop listening to the scare tactics of special interests and look at the true numbers... on average the prices this year are only pennies more than last year! Look here http://www.fuelgaugereport.com/
In NY for instance they are about .5¢ more which translates to all of about a DOLLAR A TANKFUL! _________________ Leo

Ok, I'm glad Paypal forwarded the money to you guys. Will continue to subscribe. The advice I have received from the members (by asking directly or searching previous posts) has been invaluable. _________________ Mike
